The divine code of life
For long, we were told that ‘having it in our genes’ meant we can’t do much about it.
We’ve heard leading researchers stating ‘Indians are genetically predisposed to Diabetes, heart attack” etc.
What if someone comes and says ‘the function of genes changes according to surrounding environments and stimulation’ in this book??
Laughable?? Not quite. Especially when that someone is not some self-help guru keen to make a fast buck but a world renowned scientist.

did u read this book by any chance?? what does it say in it ???
as a science phd student, i believe that only some genes are inherited and external environment can have a greater impact!!!

that kinda makes sense..otherwise, if genes won’t change according to environmental stimulus, we’d be extinct by now…good callout for this book
